Men and women approach pregnancy after baby loss differently, UCC study finds

Majority of couples who experience a stillbirth will achieve a subsequent pregnancy within 12 months

From the interviews conducted for the UCC study the main theme was 'hoping for a born alive baby.'

A new study exploring pregnancy after the loss of a baby has found differences between women and men in how to approach having another child, with men possibly more likely to want to wait for longer periods.

The in-depth study by researchers at UCC was based on interviews with eight couples in the immediate pregnancy after stillbirth, and is the first of its kind to interview couples together.
